Hi guys!
Sorry for a really dumb question, but I want to study particle physics more in depth, since our university course didn't really satisfy me that much (and, when it comes to physics, I want to know everything I can get to). Can someone give me a general list of things I should know and work my knowledge from? Right now my education is going "wikipedia style" which is cool but really fragmented and, potentially, more damaging than beneficial.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Have you tried Griffiths- Introduction to elementary particles?
Or Halzen & Martin- Quarks and Leptons?
 
Greetings, I hope this helps:
http://www.iop.org/publications/iop/2009/page_38211.html
Symmetry Magazine.
An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Particle Adventure.
You've mentioned that you are going "Wikipedia Style" I recommend going "Full Wikipedia Style" for those links can be found on the wiki.
Feel free to choose which you like.
Please note that those link above are resources themselves!
 
Thank you so much for your swift responses!
I didn't really looked into english literature (one of the downsides of being a student in eastern Europe, teachers don't recommend anything english at all and books on my native language are not that great) so I'll try to find those books and look through more websites.
